Album Review
True to form, Azure Ray delivers another 12 tracks of curiously beautiful but quite intense melancholy on 2002's Burn and Shiver. Not since Lisa Germano dropped Geek the Girl almost eight years before has music so stark and so lovely made it beyond the dark confines of somebody's troubled mind and onto the brightly lit shelves of record stores. Well, "troubled" might be too harsh a word, as Azure Ray never approach the outwardly depressive lyrical statements of Germano on Burn and Shiver, but Orenda Fink and Maria Taylor do have a certain fascination with darkness. Just as publicized, these two musicians demonstrate a knack for finding an emotional sweet spot with their dreamy harmonies, releasing any and all tension built by their down-tempo musings. The opening cut, "Favorite Cities," and the thrilling "How You Remember" are both prime examples of this dichotomy that is almost the duo's signature. Azure Ray would rate high on anybody's mope-core scale, but listeners hoping to drown themselves in despondence should be aware of the warmth that exists just beneath the surface of Burn and Shiver.
Customer Reviews
Just Fantastic!
From the begining of this album the listener is captivated. The hypnotic sounds will hold your ear to the speaker in pure mellow bliss. The songs are wonderful from the start and they just don't let go. Burn and Shiver finds that mixture of trip and chill that most albums just can't touch. The vocals of Azure Ray fit the music perfectly. Think Portishead but less disjunct and more melodic and you have an idea. This is a great album to open with for this amazing group.
burn and shiver
love it! have the rest of their albums. didn't have this because of the title, I guess, but it is wonderful. wish they would get back together and do another one.
As One
This album is very down tempo. It's got a lot of good orchestration and atmosphere. The singing is most often in unison, though there are some harmonies.
